Saw this on the Chopper Underground. Xs1100 Turbo. Wow what a beast. Not sure if this is someone who visits here. NOt sure if it has been posted before. If so I havent seen it.

Um wow. I bet thats crazy fast. Interesting front rim. My spine is throbbing at the thought of riding that since its been hard tailed.

nice ride

what kind of seat does it have fitted. those shocks would do me in i about amile on the roads of n.c. a 3 fused vertabras in the neck.

front fork

has the front fork tubes been chopped on this beast i noticed it is sitting very low, better watch for them pot holes.

Don't think it was built to do anything but the 1320.

[Crazcnuk]

I agree, except that it wouldn't run worth a hoot with no rear suspension.

Kind of like riding on ice. It has passenger pegs....

I'm with ya there, I've got the same thing in my neck.

He might have the rear end solid so that it doesn't rise up when he pegs the throttle.

Why turbo then remove the suspension?That's like taking the motor out of your speed boat and installing it on your bathtub.

[latexeses]

He!! yea, That thing has to stretch it's legs sometime.

Seems to me it would be fighting itself to get going. I would think a whole bunch of that power has to be vanishing into the frame.

Does that sound right?

[Yahman]

You've gotta love that kick stand, such a cute little thing... probably the first thing to hit when you turn left.

[trbig]

??? Then why is it at the race tracks, all the hot bikes like the 'Busas use a strap and ratchet their bikes down to take out the suspension to get the best times? You want the power going forward, not raising up.

Im sure that front tire gets plenty of hang time when he takes off!

Is just me or does it look like the exhaust ends about 20 inches from the turbo, right behind the left foot peg? Wounder how that sounds... and feels.

When I was 20 there was a guy in the town I lived in at the time, he had a KZ900 with a turbo setup that looked just like that. It didn't seem any louder than my CB750F with a 4 into 1 header. IIRC it had a nice note to it.
